NaPoWriMo Day 26

I Won't be Missed
I don't play wellWith othersI've never had sistersOr mothers
I don't likeTo shareI don't want to haveTo care
I'm in loveWith meWhy doesn't anyone elseFinally see
I'm brokenUsedI'm damagedDisabused
I'm bitterBentI'm angrySpent
I've never understoodOther peopleI've never fit inIt's their steeple
I've never belongedNot anywhereTheir eyes glaze overOr stare
I'm rudePissedI'm antisocialMissed
I'm nervousTwitchyI'm furiousBitchy
I can't keep climbingAnd fallingUnless I can hearDestiny calling
I pick me upHit againI taste the blood and tearsThat line the path of where I've been
I'm tiredBleedingI crawlDeceiving
I'm lostSearchingI'm blindHurting
I don't play well with othersI'm too full of painI can't see the skyThrough this hellish rain
You won't reach outI walk awayYou don't seem to understandI'm carrying enough for one day
I'm exhaustedKissedCan I just quit now?I won't be missed-AW

NaPoWriMo Day 25

Once
Once a lightNow my painOnce a joyNow the rain
Once my smileNow a scowlOnce we lovedCan't remember how
Once we dancedNow we fightOnce we made loveNow there's no sight
Once my best friendNow my rivalOnce a manNow only survival_AW

NaPoWriMo Day 24

Our World's End
White and blackBlue and goldA shimmering sun setsOn the days of 'ol
No more covered wagonsNo untamed trailsNo unexplored landsToward which to set out sails
Ocean and deep spaceThose mysteries remainWe pollute one and ignore the otherMan, are we vain
Technology and advancementsTough human battlesMoral fiber now openly scornedReplaced like horns and saddles
No one in charge we trustDoom around every bendThe hands on the clock are movingTowards our world's end_AW

NaPoWriMo Day 23

On Our Own
Crystal sands and foreign shoresDistant lands of hellDusty death in barren fieldsThose who can, well
Empowered people and a culture of greedA different landConquering those around becauseWell, they can
Isolated and behind in technologyHeart simple and minds wornBabies dying in the street and child rapeDeath touts that final horn
A sky of poison rotting aboveHoles and flares have grownThe whole planet in agonyWe did it on our own-AW

NaPoWriMo Day 22

DiesHands and fingersLips and toesSaws and axesGrow 
Love and peaceAll that joyPerfect harmonyCoy
The wind and rainSun and starsRevolving endlesslyBars
Trapped in destructionNo other pathConstant rape of Nature's resourcesWrath
Storms and floodsEarthquakes and sinkholesRevenge is a harsh bellTolls
Disease and conflictNations at warThe earth shudders helplesslyPoor
Indifference and sufferingHumankind's blind eyesThe Earth around usDies-AW

NaPoWriMo Day 21

Success or Fail
Long and HardWe fought the fightStaying resolvedWhether wrong or right
We showed our forceAnd played our handWe sent the troopsAnd the bad guy ran
We chased him downNo cave left wholeAnd got him 10 years laterThanks to a mole
Now, he's goneDo we feel safe?Did it bring them backAnd put joy in grief's place?
Of hell and heartacheTortured dreamsDid it give us peace?That remains to be seen
Credit has been takenCareers are being madeEven hearing from the brave soulsWho carried out the raid
Unsung herosBrought to lightWhen, in all honestythey prefer the night
Dancing in the shadowsprotecting our survivalTrying not to be stainedBy a constant rival
Do they feel proud?These bringers of justiceShould they have to killTo defend us?
Osama is goneIf you believe the taleWe never stopped searchingCome success or fail
Buried at seaNo body remainsconspiracy aboundsand an ally takes the blame
The perfect closeto a rattled Presidencyperhaps Mr. Obamaseeks permanent residency-AW

NaPoWriDay 19

Two Eagles Wanted
Two Eagles wantedGood shape, wide shoulders, no beer gutIt's okay if the eyes are haunted
Must be clean and neatSmell good!And like to eat
Preferred: One tall and darkOne lean and blondMust come instantly when I bark
Should be willing to fightTo compromiseDuring the cold flight
Has to adore kidsCan also have your ownTwo slots now open to the highest bids
Eagles! ComeTwo dedicated men can applyI'll bring the extra Rum-AW

NaPoWriMo Day 18

Our Tolling Bell
The shards of hellOh, wrathYou fell!
My wayward wonderThe sky's darknessWe ponder
Endless myriads of silverA star fallsOh he, a giver
The wish you makeI hearAnd ruthlessly break
Haunting soundsOf days goneThe circle come 'round
I weep and yearnThe sun lights my faceI burn
Darkness calls to likeWe flee for safetyA lightning strike
Our tolling bellHeaven?No. Hell-AW

NaPoWriMo Day 17

Can't afford the Knife
A rainbow of painA long-forgotten cornerA childhood of panicWith not a single mourner
Bathed in desperationA beauty withered into useNo way outA violent excuse
The alley is homeDanger the daily showLiving on the edgesNo chance to learn or grow
Dropped outJust ran one dayNo one came to searchShe wasn't planned anyway
Groveling to surviveSociety turns their headSinking to her knees yet againWishing she had the courage to be dead
Colors rush byFull of love and lifeShe'd end her shame if she couldBut can't afford the knife-AW
